Update autospec to work on Windows
Reported by Chuck Grindel | July 11th, 2008 @ 08:32 PM | in 1.1.5
On Windows, the call to autotest in the autospec file does not work, because autotest is a batch file which turns around and calls the autotest ruby script. When shelling out from a Ruby script to call a batch file, one must use the "call" command. Below is an updated version of the file.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
ENV['RSPEC'] = 'true'
autotest_cmd = 'autotest'
autotest_cmd = "call #{autotest_cmd}" if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin/
system autotest_cmd

Hi, David,
Thanks for the heads up. It definitely sounds reasonable to not address this in RSpec.
BTW, thanks for all of your efforts with RSpec. It really has helped us create better tests and better software as a result.
Thanks,
Chuck
